Tips for Renting in Coral Springs

Ready to call Coral Springs home? Let's take a moment to get acquainted with some of the local tenant laws.

For starters, Florida doesn’t have rent control. This means that at the end of your lease, the landlord has the right to raise the rent as much as they'd like – provided they can convince someone to pay it, of course.

Even though Coral Springs is hot and humid, your landlord isn't required to provide air conditioning or even fix a broken A/C unit unless it's otherwise laid out in your lease. That's why it's a good idea to make sure to read your rental agreement first, especially since they can vary among different properties and apartment complexes.
